Sometimes The Light’s All Shining On Me

Other Times I Can Barely See

Lately It Occurs To Me

What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been

-Robert Hunter

The emergence of triple record albums can be traced back to the evolution of the music industry and the creative ambitions of artists in the late 1960s and 1970s. Some key factors contributing to their rise are:

Artistic Ambition and Experimentation:

Advancements in Recording Technology 

Market Demand and Fan Base

The popularity of live recordings and the desire of capturing the full essence of a concert experience which often required more than just one or two records.

The show this week is the first of three shows that will explore some of the most outstanding tunes on both live and studio triple records. Featured triple albums:

“Lotus” – Santana

“All Things Must Pass” – George Harrison

“Sandinista” – The Clash

“The Last Waltz” – The Band

“Europe ’72” – Grateful Dead
